Slate has an article up today listing reactions to Trump’s racist weekend from GOP politicians. They’re updating it as the day goes. I was struck by how the first folks being pressed for comments or feeling the need to speak up or whatever are GOP Reps from Texas. “Go back to your own country” language is I’m guessing even more incendiary there considering the prominence of Hispanic Texans.

For example, I don’t know who this Hurd dude is but to see a Republican actually say “those tweets are racist” surprises me.

Rep. Will Hurd (Texas 23rd District)
Hurd told CNN, “Those tweets are racist, and xenophobic… It’s also behavior that’s unbecoming of the leader of the free world. He should be talking about things that unite, not divide us.”
